and what would be your responce if the evidence showed that you must crash your head against the nearest wall? (LOL)

What would that evidence look like?

We have evidence of what happens when people do bang their heads, either accidentally or on purpose. The evidence suggests that banging your head is generally not a good thing. So what evidence could indicate that it's a good thing?

Jumping off of a bridge is analogous to a Leap Of Faith. Perhaps after observation of the behavior of others, you concluded early on in life that faith was not a good trait to possess.

Abiogenesis, the SETI Institute, or anything in Darwinism that is untestable, yet speculated on and proclaimed as science.

I agree that it would be just fine to give Intelligent Design the same kind of speculation and pass that the SETI Institute gets in the science books. But I highly doubt that many ID folks would like the result; any such coverage would surely be highly dismissive.

However, with regards to testability, none of those things you mentioned is taught as a theory with the exception of evolution, which of course is testable to the point of being a theory. I assume that the theory of evolution is what you refer to as Darwinism, but I cannot be sure.

I was thinking as long as I have my hands up … they’re not going to shoot me. This is what I’m thinking — they’re not going to shoot me. Wow, was I wrong. -- Charles Kinsey

... anything in Darwinism that is untestable, yet speculated on and proclaimed as science.

Got an example that applies to evolution science and not some fantasy about what evolution is?

... Abiogenesis, ...

What about abiogenesis - as practiced by scientists - is not testable? Are not all the experiments they are doing tests of concept? Just askin ...

... Darwinism ...

Really, marc, you've been around here long enough to know that the science is called evolution and that the scientists study and test evolution concepts. At best "Darwinism" was the beginning of the science of evolution, but the science does not depend on Darwin, it depends on facts and evidence of evolution.

You should also know by now that using "Darwinism" just exhibits your ignorance and failure to understand.

Im referring to the analogy of a Leap of Faith. You likely would stand firm until you had evidence.

No, that a Leap of faith is a good idea. You evidently concluded that it was not, hence you never took the leap.

The point Phat is that a leap of Faith is made without evidence. However in most instances there actually is some evidence. AIG's strategy is not based on Faith but rather on denial of available evidence. That is called a Leap of Stupidity.
